The Montebello catamarans are all built to survey standard and offer enough design latitudeto enable a certain level of personal customisation on each boat. Montebello Yachts uses the latest proven boat manufacturing techniques with the hull, deck and bulkheads of full foam core composite construction through the infusion method, using vinylester resins. This ensures light weight whilst providing superior structural integrity and strength.

The uncompromising approach to build quality, together with a world class engineering partners guarantee true bluewater performance catamarans that are unsinkable. The 12.5m power catamaran is available in three versions: a coupe, a flybridge with hardtop and clear enclosures, and a fully enclosed hardtop with toughened glass front and side opening windows.

With the modern rakish profile born from the pen of Roger Hill, the well respected New Zealand catamaran designer, this cat is different from the rest - remarkably stylish and innovative in many ways. The uncluttered expansive foredeck with integrated twin seats in the bow rail, the beautifully crafted stainless steel staunchions and rails, the massive cockpit with built in barbecue and sink that disappears when not in use, the unique galley and saloon layout, and in particular, the very functional and oversized heads with separate shower combination.

The power catamaran presents the new owner with many options to consider, ranging from the saloon and galley layouts, 2 or 3 cabins, one or two heads, down to the many engine and drive combinations – from shafts to IPS units – the staff liaise with you to determine the best package for your needs.

Whatever the final selection is, you can be assured your Montebello power catamaran will be totally seaworthy, exhibit class leading performance and economy, and do it all in understated style and total comfort.

creed, innovation abounds – flush fitting hatches, completely uncluttered and flat foredeck, a unique approach to the cockpit and helm design, hidden bbq and outdoor entertaining nacelle.
